I've Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well-Chapter 130

[ㅇㅇ]?

“Only Kang Cheol-min knows that, lol.”

└ “For real, lmao.”“Knowing Kang Cheol-min’s personality, you think he’ll actually do it? I’d bet my precious on him not doing it.”

└ “Nobody asked for that… just saying.”

└ “Safe bet, honestly. I don’t think he’ll do it either.”

└ “And so, his precious was spared.”

[Title: Thinking About It Again…]

[ㅇㅇ]

Anyone remember Kang Cheol-min’s special lecture at the Academy? Back then, Si-Hyun hadn’t revealed her identity yet, but I heard he mocked her as a troll based on what someone told him. Looking back now… wasn’t he actually the troll?

“Oh? Now that you mention it, yeah.”

└ “Right? Is Kang Cheol-min secretly the weakest of the S-ranks?”

└ “LOL, at this point, I’m starting to doubt if he’s even an S-rank Hunter.”“Still, the dungeon raid was a success. Cheers to that.”“Special lecture? What’s that about? Someone drop a link.”

Posts ridiculing Kang Cheol-min flooded every corner of the internet. Some even dug up his past mistakes for further mockery. There was no way Kang Cheol-min himself was unaware of how things were spiraling.

“Goddammit!”

Bang!

Unable to suppress his rage, Kang Cheol-min slammed his fist into the furniture beside him. The hospital-grade table next to his bed shattered with a loud crack.

“How dare they! How dare they humiliate me like this!”

His breathing was ragged, his face flushed red, and his eyes burned with fury. The storm of emotions boiling inside him demanded release.

“Huuh…!”

He exhaled sharply, then abruptly stood up, marching toward the door with heavy, anger-filled steps.

The sound of his stomping echoed through the hospital corridor. It didn’t take long before he found one of the Cheongrim Guild staff members waiting in the lounge.

Kang Cheol-min strode up to the man and leaned in close, his face mere inches away.

“You. Come with me.”

“W-What? Sir, uh, what’s this about…?”

His threatening voice and sharp gaze sent the staff member into a stammering panic. The man’s hesitance only served to further ignite Kang Cheol-min’s fury.

“Don’t make me repeat myself! Are you ignoring me now, too?!”

“N-No, sir! I’ll come right away!”

The staff member stood, trembling from head to toe, and followed Kang Cheol-min, though his dread was impossible to hide.

‘This is bad… really bad.’

He could already predict the storm coming his way. Incidents like this weren’t uncommon in the Cheongrim Guild.

At the same time, another thought bubbled up in his mind, unbidden but persistent:

‘Do I really have to stay in Cheongrim, enduring this kind of treatment?’

His anger turned inward, directed at both Kang Cheol-min and the guild itself. A deep-seated resentment began to simmer.

“If you had handled things properly from the start, this wouldn’t have happened!”

In a quiet, empty room, Kang Cheol-min unleashed his fury. From the script he’d been forced to use during the special lecture to the media interviews, nothing had sat right with him. Why hadn’t the guild’s PR team cut him off when they had the chance?

As his rant escalated, spit flew from his mouth, landing on the staff member’s face. The man endured the indignity silently, knowing that any misstep could lead to physical violence.

But in that moment, something inside the staff member snapped. The suppressed frustration, humiliation, and doubt about Cheongrim erupted like a dam breaking.

‘I can’t… I can’t take this anymore.’

The decision was made. He would leave Cheongrim.

***

Public interest in Kang Cheol-min showed no signs of waning. Despite being the one to provoke Jeong Si-Hyun first, he refused to apologize or even issue a statement of regret. This only fueled the ridicule directed at him.

[Title: Is Kang Cheol-min Really Not Apologizing?]

[ㅇㅇ]

Not only is he dragging himself down, but the Cheongrim Guild’s reputation is also tanking. Still no word from him?

“If he had the sense to apologize, he wouldn’t have stirred up trouble in the first place.”

└ “Exactly.”

└ “For real, lol.”“??? : Anyway, I’ve done nothing wrong~”“Looks like he doesn’t even have the courage to apologize, lol.”“Probably too busy eating hospital food.”

[Title: ‘The Virtue of a Tanker?’]

[ㅇㅇ]

Above all else, it’s silence!

“I’ll bow deeply.”“I’ll bow deeply.”“I’ll bow deeply.”“What the hell are you all doing? Lol.”

└ “Analyze the situation calmly. What matters is momentum.”

└ “?????”

└ “This is from Kang Cheol-min’s Academy lecture script, lol. It’s a meme now.”

└ “Ah, thanks! That’s what it was, lol.”“He’s doing a great job embodying that virtue, lol.”

As public attention grew, an anonymous tip was sent to a media outlet. The details were explosive, enough to cause widespread outrage. The media acted swiftly.

What began as a ripple turned into a tidal wave. Additional revelations surfaced, each more shocking than the last, until the scandal became a full-blown societal issue.

Each revelation shook the public and irrevocably tarnished Cheongrim’s image.

As the guild’s misconduct came to light, rival guilds joined the fray, helping to expose its corruption further. Internal whistleblowers increased, and members left the guild in droves. Cheongrim’s facade crumbled, revealing its ugly core.

“Yes, it’s true. Cheongrim has been manipulating dungeon entry approvals by leveraging connections with the Hunter Bureau.”“Wasn’t Kim Ji-Ah’s case similar? Remember the dungeon where her entire team died? Even the sole survivor ended up with permanent injuries. Isn’t that person the Academy President now?”“It wouldn’t be surprising if her title as a specialist in high-risk dungeons was forced on her, regardless of her will.”

These allegations, tied to Kim Ji-Ah—a national hero alongside Jeong Si-Hyun—sparked outrage. The public was no longer just shocked; they were furious.

Naturally, the news reached Si-Hyun as well. Her fury was directed straight at the Hunter Bureau.

“If you don’t want to see me lose my temper, clean out every single Cheongrim associate involved in this. If you don’t handle this properly… I will ensure this matter doesn’t end quietly.”

Si-Hyun’s voice, usually warm and approachable, was as cold as ice. Hunter Bureau Team Leader Jang Han-Soo broke into a nervous sweat under her piercing gaze. The Bureau declared a state of emergency, launching a large-scale audit.

This wasn’t the end. Si-Hyun’s influence had already surpassed national authority. Several corporations severed ties with Kang Cheol-min, scrambling to distance themselves from the scandal, especially with Kim Ji-Ah’s name now involved.

Advertising contracts, sponsorship deals, and collaborations with Kang Cheol-min all dissolved. Even Cheongrim Guild’s sponsors abandoned them.

Si-Hyun watched it all unfold. She had disliked Cheongrim ever since the incident with Da-Young and the Wing Guild. Now, Cheongrim had cemented itself as her adversary.

Ultimately, Cheongrim’s leadership pressured Kang Cheol-min to act. The guild leader demanded he apologize to Si-Hyun and Kim Ji-Ah without delay.

But Kang Cheol-min resisted. His pride wouldn’t allow it. Besides, the incident with Kim Ji-Ah wasn’t his fault—it had been on orders from the late Yoo Byung-Joon. He refused to bow.

Even so, the scales had tipped irreversibly. Public outrage toward Cheongrim and Kang Cheol-min continued to grow.

What did Kang Cheol-min have left?

His honor was ruined. His credibility as a hunter was in shambles. Public opinion had turned entirely against him. Even his financial backing was gone. While he had amassed considerable wealth, his extravagant spending habits couldn’t sustain him indefinitely. He was cornered.

And so was Cheongrim.

“Hunter Jeong Si-Hyun is at the Bureau right now! Go and apologize immediately!”

“…Hah.”

Grimacing, Kang Cheol-min reluctantly changed his clothes. He had no other way out. He got into a car driven by a guild employee and headed to the Bureau.

But when he arrived—

“…What did you say?”

“I’m sorry, sir, but we can’t allow you inside.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Kang Cheol-min was blocked at the entrance by Bureau hunters who had rushed out to stop him.

“Do you even know who I am?! I’m Kang Cheol-min, an S-rank hunter!”

“Yes, we know. That’s precisely why we can’t let you in.”

“What the—! Hah!”

Fuming, Kang Cheol-min’s face turned beet red as he yelled, “You think you can handle the consequences of this?!”

“Consequences?”

Jang Han-Soo, standing in front of him, smirked. He couldn’t suppress a chuckle at the absurdity of the threat.

“Of course we can. After all, we have the Saint on our side.”

The confidence in Han-Soo’s voice was unwavering. Not even an S-rank hunter intimidated him.

Kang Cheol-min, impulsive as ever, reached for Han-Soo’s collar in a fit of rage.

“Do you want me to kill you right here—”

Wham!

A sharp fist struck Kang Cheol-min’s face before he could finish his threat. He collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

It was Si-Hyun.

“Director, has he done anything else to bother you?” she asked calmly, dusting her hands as if she had touched something dirty.

“Not at all! You arrived at the perfect time. Thank you,” Han-Soo replied with a grin.

“Good. Let’s keep it that way.” Si-Hyun cast a disdainful glance at the groaning Kang Cheol-min.

“As they say, old habits die hard. This guy hasn’t learned a thing.”

The contempt in her voice was palpable.

Struggling to his feet, Kang Cheol-min’s face contorted in rage as he shouted, “You bitch!”

He swung his fist toward her, but—

Smack!

Jason caught his fist mid-swing, gripping it tightly.

“Well, aren’t you an unruly little man,” Jason said with a chuckle, his strength making it impossible for Kang Cheol-min to move.

Si-Hyun turned to Jason with a smirk. “Take care of him, will you? I don’t feel like dealing with this mess myself.”

“With pleasure,” Jason replied.

“Damn it!” Kang Cheol-min screamed, his frustration boiling over.

Si-Hyun responded by flipping him off with a smile before walking away with Han-Soo.

Jason didn’t hold back. By the end of it, Kang Cheol-min was back in the hospital, battered and bruised.

The incident spread quickly, accelerating the downfall of both Kang Cheol-min and Cheongrim Guild.

In the city, advertisements featuring Kang Cheol-min and Cheongrim began disappearing one by one.

The public had made their choice clear: they stood with Si-Hyun. Kang Cheol-min was no longer the protagonist of his own story.
